pUPLIc SCHOOLS.
AS to the public schools he says:
The total amount Of school funds re-
ceived from the state, counties, md other
sources, for the scholastic year ending
June 80, 1886, was 81, 409, ,855Ss. These
figures show an increase Of $7S. 1895. 10
over the preceding year. This fllnd has
fbeen disbursed for salaries Of teachers,
school sites, buildings, repa!ss fixtures,
salary Of county superintendents and
fees of district clerks. to the amount Of
81 ,092, ,45980, leaving balance on hand
July 1, 1886. of S317 1883 Thisis cx-
elusive of a few counties, the reports of
which are yet incomplete. The report
shows our scholastic population, white
and colored, for the year ending June 80,
1886, to have been 823. .450. IN increase
|oyer last year Of 1850. There have
been erected during the year S73 school
houses, at q total cost Of SS1, 7S9, the
greater part of which has been paid out
of the school fund (the title 10 which is
| In the state). A noticeable Indication Of
progress is seen in the reports Of insti-
tutes held by the state superintendent, as
well as those held by county superintend-
ents for the benefit Of teachers attending
the institutes, and earnest encourage
ment by the people wherethcy we're held.
A very important feature of our public
school system is the provision for train
ing teachers. In this respectitis safe TO
say that Tennessee is quite up with II
not in advance Of, many of Sthe sister
States.
The University of Tennessee, located
at Knoxville, is one OF the most practical,
and at the same time attractive, institu.
tions of learning in the South. It's com.
modious and well-appoiLted buildings,
supplied with all modern appliances, its
extensive and well preserved grounds,
and its ample corps of accomplished
professors, make it an institution, equal
to the best of its kind, and ono that de.
serves the patronage and support of the
people With such opportunities as it
affords for practical and scientific insruc.
tion. no scholarship in 1t for the State
ought to be left vacant.
